OUR HISTORY
Democrats of the Red Rocks was officially founded in 2003. The idea began when the AZ Democratic Party reached out to congratulate Susan Solomon, on her election to the Sedona City Council. After meeting a network of Democrats across the state, Susan invited other Democratic women to her Sedona home with the thought of starting a political club. They began monthly meetings and worked actively to elect Janet Napolitano (D) as Governor of Arizona in 2002. The group’s efforts in this success convinced them to officially become Democrats of the Red Rocks. This energetic and thriving group continues to this day, growing to over 400 members and encompassing like-minded people from surrounding communities across the Verde Valley.
